24th April 1971

It's a first week on top for The Fortunes 6 years after they would have had a 100% certain chart-topper in my hypothetical charts of 1965 (I adored You've Got Your Troubles), with the US hit Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again. Highest new entry is The Supremes' Nathan Jones fabulously in at 5 and outdoing Ms. Ross' latest effort. There's a double helping of Rain into the top 20, from Cliff Richard & Bruce Ruffin, and the Elgins enter with their 1966 Holland-Dozier-Holland goodie that had become a Northern Soul classic after flopping first time out in the UK, Heaven Must Have Sent You at 29.

The Beginning Of The End debut with Funky Nassau, a very Santana-ish track that wasn't a UK hit until 1974, so nostalgically it's all about living near Gloucester and not Singapore, for me. James Brown does what he does best, ballads for me, with I Cried in at 58 with a song I've been unaware of before. It's good. Lulu's clapping, meanwhile, at her TOTP appearance still existing - I'm guessing thanks to then-hubby Maurice Gibb, who co-wrote the song with Lulu's brother. Mo was meticulous in getting TV recordings of The Bee Gees appearances and also his missus, so I wouldn't be surprised if he recorded the whole show. I certainly don't see a listing of, say, Frank Sinatra or Bill Haley that might have made the Wiper-Man decide it was worthy of keeping.

Wot I liked then
27th April 1971

It's 3 weeks on top for Dawn as Marmalade stage their biggest challenge to the top spot since Reflections Of My Life as they hit 2, and Mozart goes top 10 and Ringo goes top 10 for the first time solo. The Partridge Family replace themselves in the top 20 as Doesn't Somebody Want To Be Wanted follows up I Think I Love You, though as the TV show was well into it's Singapore TV run by now, my fave track was the non-single Somebody Wants To Love You. R. Dean Taylor is on the run from the law as he cries Indiana Wants Me, still a great ballad, and finally Sugar Sugar is back. In a Jonathan King cover mickey-take of Hard Rock, as he implies that it's bubblegum as much as Bubblegum is. I prefer the original, but it's amusing.

In Singapore the Shangri-La Hotel opened this week, future site of important political summits, while back in the UK the 1971 census was taken showing 55.5 million in the UK, give or take, and of course we missed that one not being in the country. Future historians trying to trace my whereabouts will remain puzzled until the 1981 census when it will appear as if I haven't moved since I was born in 1958 in the same house I was registered in for 1981, yet mysteriously don't turn up in the 1961 census (probably in Germany, or else just back in the same house) or 1971 census (Singapore). There will also be no record of my dad being in the RAF for the same reason, as he also had left the RAF by 1981. So 20 years of moving about wouldn't even get a mention. A flawed system, I think....!
